LWSrocks2 Wrote:Thane winced as Spark messed around with his code. "Ahem... Spark, you're forgetting something important. We have no idea where Derrick's actual hideout *is*. I've been there, obviously, but I don't recall how to get there or what it looks like. Finding it will be a pain in the ass, not to mention infiltrating the damn thing; who KNOWS how much firepower Derrick has behind him." Thane paused for a moment to think. "Let's be honest. If he's orchestrating attacks on such huge sites with such powerful servers, he either has an extremely strong botnet or he has alot of collaborators with their own formidable armies; maybe a combination of both. Depending on what he has behind him, you could be dealing with quite a bit of security in this "hideout". There could also be a total lack of security and we could just bust everything up...."Thane took a moment to think about a plan. "I say we wait. We'll let Derrick make the next move. Keep an eye on the skyline, follow torrent sites and tech news aggregators, blogs, et cetera.... wait for the next attack. If what they say is true, and they're gonna be taking out all major piracy sites and networks, they're obviously not going to be doing it all at one time. They'll take 'em down one by one. If we just keep an eye out and wait for the next attack, we can follow Derrick and his forces from there, maybe hold him back, and prevent future attacks."

Spark sent Thane a flat look as if to say: Do you really think I would forget something that obvious? She pulled the last of the corrupted code out of Thane's disk and opened a quarantine sphere, shoving the viral leach inside and slamming it shut. With a last brush and check to smooth out the code, Spark closed Thane's disk. She levered the hacker around and replaced the disk on his back, checking to make sure it synchronized properly. She pulled off the quarantine patch and put it back in her pocket.

"There, you should be okay now. As for where Derrick's hideout is, this-" she held up the quarantine sphere with its grisly contents, "-can't be made just anywhere. To make this kind of viral-patch, you'd need materials and equipment that can't be carried around. I'll make you a Navi-bit to follow to where this was made. Even if that isn't their hideout, it will be an important spot to them. If we can destroy that, we'll cripple their ability to subvert programs. Besides, you're not going in guns blazing - in fact, you're not going in at all. You're just planting a beacon, remember? When the signal tower goes down, we'll meet you there and plan our next move."

{Because people always seem to guess wrong, I'm saying it here: I'm female!!! And my name is Spark!!!}
